General Discussion

I don't believe that the entire Democratic party has to be involved in, or even tolerant of the stolen elections from the past 26 years.

Republicans own enough media to stifle any voices that want to protect elections. They badger any people in the Democratic party who speak out. They naysay any investigations. They promote the voices of "reasonable" people who claim that hand counted paper ballot recounts will not find any malfeasance. After all, hand counts showed that Biden won Georgia and Arizona in 2020, so we don't need to recount when Trump wins. So what if recounts were paid for in 2016, but not done.

I think Joe Biden could have wanted to save his family from the death threats and the public humiliation. I think Kamala Harris loves her nieces, and who knows how many threats were made against them. But maybe they just listened to consultants and pundits who told them not to sound like Republicans.

It never fails to amaze me how people can put words into my mouth, and then say terrible things about me for thinking that way. It's right up there with thinking that one mistake negates the whole of the arguments on that side of an issue.

We know Republicans have a well funded organization to purge Democratic voters. From Florida in 2000 to Crosscheck, and right up to the present day.

We know that the Brooks Brothers riot stopped a recount in Miami Dade County. We know that Gore made the mistake of asking for a partial recount. We know that butterfly ballots confused people who wanted to vote for Gore. We know the Supreme Court stopped any recounts. We know that the media recount showed that every statewide recount scenario in Florida gave the state to Gore. Too bad....

I'm not going to apologize for the terror I feel when I see my country stolen from the people who live here. Elections are not my only area of interest, unlike some people who argue against recounts. I know that recounts are a necessary part of healthy elections.
